Our room was clean but a bit outdated and short on plug-ins. We were on the 2nd floor, and the room didn't have AC, but a fan was provided. Unfortunately, we couldn't keep the doors open due to the mosquitoes. Also, there was limited parking at the lodge. On the bright side, there is public transit available to take you downtown. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

It was great, but I wish I had noticed they did not have air. We would not have booked this. They were having a heat wave plus the smoke from the surrounding area. I also wish I had noticed it wasn’t close to the town of Banff-it would had been nice to be walking distance to the shops and restaurants. If you don’t mind not being close and no ac it was great.

The Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a beautiful place in a beautiful area, however no air conditioning is offered in the rooms and with the heat we had, it made it uncomfortable, especially keeping the windows open with the wildfires nearby, making it a not so pleasant smell...of course this isn't the fault of the lodge. I'm unsure why air conditioning is offered. That would be my only complaint. Otherwise, friendly staff and a beautiful area!

Just ok
Beds were super comfy and we were able to check in 3 hours early. The stay was uncomfortable for sleeping however because none of the rooms have air conditioning. It was usually cooler outside even with windows open. Lastly parking is terrible. Don’t drive a large suv or pickup. There never seemed to be enough spots and since the parking lot dead ends you don’t know until you drive the length. Then you get to reverse out. The hotel room was nice enough but we will likely stay elsewhere should we go back.

For a $600 charge per night there was a lot that could be done to improve the comfort of their guests! No air conditioning, dark, very small windows and only 2 tiny windows that open to get air. No screens on the doors to create a draw through effect to get cool air! We had to leave the front door and the back door open u til midnight to try and cool the room down. Bugs then filled the room so we finally closed the doors! It was well over 80 in the room all night! No ventilation in the bathroom! No blinds in the upper windows so if you thought you were going to sleep in…. No such luck and besides that, with leaving the windows open all night you get woken up at 5am with the birds! Green walls! The very worst color for making you look sick and sallow! Color psychology 101! ( I am an Interior Designer) when I inquired about the air conditioning I was told that they cannot have air in a national park because of carbon emisions! Have they not heard of heat pumps!! On top of all that a wood burning stove in the room has left that woodsy smell on everything I own. It’s off to cleaners for me! Bar none the worst stay I have ever had in the last 20 years.
